*Funicular Railway - entering the model railway circuit in 2017, the arduino-controlled OO-scale funicular railway is being built by a father and son team and is like nothing else attending the event. With thanks to Nicholas Bond.
The third Open House Weekend on 7-8 April 2018 featured over 30 layouts at the Diesel Depot and The Engine House. On 21-22 July [[Kidderminster|Kidderminster station]] hosted a "''HUGE model railway''" running under the canopy.
In May 2022 a Spring Model Railway Weekend was held, split from the Open House Weekend. 27 layouts were in attendance in scales from 009 to 0. Highlights included Cregwir, a layout based on the Island of Sodor with characters from The Railway Series, including Thomas, Stepney, Bear and Wilbert. Other layouts on display were a ‘have a go’ live steam layout with LNER A4s, Halfpenny Green with engines local to Worcester, and Campbell’s Quarry, where a crane scooped sand up, dropped it into wagons before it was dropped off further up the line.
